This book analyses the new and emerging role of the electricity distribution system operator (DSO) in the energy transition. The concept of a neutral market facilitator is introduced to characterise this role. In a world of active customers at the distribution level, the DSO will be a central actor, responsible for facilitating these transactions and entities such as energy sharing, peer-to-peer trading, flexibility ... In addition, the DSO will also increasingly rely on market transactions to purchase technical products and services. Another major contribution of this book is to advance the concept of private energy law. It thus proposes a different analytical lens than is usually used. From a private law perspective, this approach focuses on the nature of these new transactions and entities. Starting from an analysis of EU energy law, this book examines national implementation in Belgium and the Netherlands. It describes and compares the solutions adopted by each of the Belgian regions (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels-Capital) and the Netherlands. Simon Vanhove holds a PhD in law from KU Leuven (2023) and is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at UGent. He is also a member of the Brussels Bar.

Als stagiair heb ik de eer gehad om te mogen werken bij RMONI wireless (RMONI). Deze groeiende onderneming, gevestigd in Bilzen, heeft zich gespecialiseerd in het ontwikkelen van hard- en software voor draadloze monitoring. Het bedrijf bestaat hoofdzakelijk uit twee delen: een hardware- en een softwareteam. Het hardwareteam ontwikkelt doelgerichte sensorboxen die bepaalde metingen waarnemen. Het softwareteam levert de software om de meeteigenschappen in te stellen, vervolgens op te vangen en te verwerken. Software om deze sensorboxen te configureren bestond al wel, maar het bestaande java-programma was toe aan vervanging. Mijn taak was dus om een oplossing te realiseren. Ik heb een programma geschreven dat meerdere bestaande configuratieprogramma's van de sensorboxen vervangt. Dit vergemakkelijkt de taak van de installateurs aangezien ze nu één tool hebben waarmee ze de box volledig kunnen instellen. De keuze van de programmeertaal ging uit naar C# aangezien de andere programma's van het bedrijf ook in deze taal werden gemaakt. Door mijn toepassing is de taak van de installateurs vergemakkelijkt. Gebruiksvriendelijkheid en efficiëntie staan centraal. Onder andere is er nu de mogelijkheid om het volledige profiel van een box op te slaan en te hergebruiken in een andere box. Dit is pure tijdswinst voor de installateur en het bedrijf.

Being a compliant Member State is not easy. On the one hand, the Union imposes climate change mitigation goals that must be achieved every year. Given the strenuous market conditions of renewable energy production in the past decades, this seems difficult to attain without some form of government intervention. On the other hand, State aid or other government intervention potentially distorts competition and stifles economic incentive if not adequately conceived and implemented. Therefore, the Union (by means of the Commission) keeps an eye out for unlawful State aid. Stuck between these (and many other) boundaries, the precise extent of Member State discretion presented an interesting topic of research. The scope of this paper is limited to: “In the field of aid for renewable energy generation, what are the limits to Member States discretionary margin?” This paper concludes to a very limited margin of discretion of Member States, even stricter than what primary law had foreseen. Intuitively, it seems the vague and confusing phrasing of primary law is the reason for this. The Treaties have not been able to fulfil their role of a constitutional guarantor of the division of powers between Member States and Union. The second conclusion is that the Commission has turned this legal vacuum to its advantage. A flurry of secondary and soft law, combined with a helpful Court, quickly solidified every step outside the primary law framework. Even powerful Germany has opted to submit before the Commission, as the case study in the last chapter demonstrated. The conclusions of this Master’s paper seem to be supported by trends appearing in the latest Commission proposals for the Energy Union. In future research, the evolving role of the Commission in the governance and enforcement of the Union’s climate change and renewable energy goals merits follow up.
